How a Dracula Lawsuit Helped Create the Modern Vampire; CBR, April 2, 2022
CARLOS T. LOPES, CBR; How a Dracula Lawsuit Helped Create the Modern Vampire
"Dracula and the elements that make a vampire didn't all come from Bram Stoker's novel. After Nosferatu first premiered in Germany, exactly 100 years ago, Florence Stoker, the author's widow, attempted to sue the filmmakers over a freely adapted script, later creating a copyright lawsuit nightmare that almost killed the movie. The aura around this subject fascinated audiences and artists, which created the lore that defines modern vampires today."
